Come Sunday: A Novel
by Isla MorleyAs Isla Morley's novel sweeps from the hills of Honolulu to the veldt of South Africa, we catch a hint of the spirit of Barbara Kingsolver and the mesmerizing truth of Jodi Picoult. We are reminded of how it felt to dive into the drama of The Thorn Birds.Come Sunday is that joyous, special thing: a saga that captivates from the very first page, breaking our hearts while making our spirits soar. Abbe Deighton is a woman who has lost her bearings. Once a child of the African plains, she is now settled in Hawaii, married to a minister, and waging her battles in a hallway of monotony. There is the leaky roof, the chafing expectations of her husband's congregation, and the constant demands of motherhood. But in an instant, beginning with the skid of tires, Abbe's battlefield is transformed when her three-year-old daughter is killed, triggering in Abbe a seismic grief that will cut a swath through the landscape of her life and her identity.Come Sunday is a novel about searching for a true homeland, family bonds torn asunder, and the unearthing of decades-old secrets. It is a novel to celebrate, and Isla Morley is a writer to love.

Comfort Me with Apples: A Novel
by Peter De VriesA laugh-out-loud novel about teenage pretensions and adult delusions from an author whom the New York Times has called &“a Balzac of the station wagon set&” Chick Swallow and his best friend, Nickie Sherman, are teenage boulevardiers of Decency, Connecticut, devotees of Oscar Wilde who spend their evenings crafting perverse aphorisms in an ice-cream parlor. &“There is only one thing worse than not having children,&” opines Chick, &“and that is having them.&” Unrepentant aesthetes, someday soon they will be in Paris or New York, far removed from the mainstream. Then the unthinkable happens. Marriage. Family. Dinner parties. For Chick, a job at the local newspaper writing an advice column punctuated by blandly inspirational Pepigrams: &“To turn stumbling blocks into stepping stones—pick up your feet.&” For Nickie, an unlikely career in law enforcement. But just when it seems that their lives have settled down before they could even begin, Chick begins an affair with Mrs. Thicknesse, a newspaper music critic of ample girth and means, and a whole brouhaha breaks loose: blackmail, forgery, secret sleuthing, lawsuits. There is drama in suburbia after all, and Chick and Nickie are up to their necks in it. A wild, witty tale of friendship, marriage, and infidelity, Comfort Me with Apples is full of the brilliant wordplay and delicious ironies that made Peter de Vries &“one of the best comic novelists that America has ever produced&” (Commentary).

Comida de domingo
by José Luís Peixoto«Uno de los escritores más dotados de su país».Le Monde «Peixoto tiene una maravillosa forma de interpretar el mundo, expresado en imágenes preciosas y con un extraordinario uso del lenguaje».The Times Literary Supplement En vísperas de cumplir noventa años, el señor Rui Nabeiro rememora su vida. De fondo, el Alentejo fronterizo, donde el contrabando ha servido para resistir la pobreza: metáfora de las múltiples e imprecisas fronteras que rodean la existencia y la literatura. Lavida de Nabeiro, desde sus humildes orígenes a la creación del imperio del café Delta, es un camino que corre paralelo a la historia y la geografía portuguesas, tocadas por figuras como Marcelo Caetano, Mário Soares o Felipe González, y por la Revolución de los Claveles o la guerra civil española. El talento narrativo y la prosa lírica de José Luis Peixoto elevan esta singular biografía al estatuto de novela, en una bellísima historia de Portugal contada a través de un relato familiar. Comida de domingo es una profunda reflexión sobre la vejez y el final de una vida, pero también sobre el profundo amor de una familia reunida en torno al patriarca para celebrar su aniversario. La comida del domingo contiene una promesa: el reencuentro con los hijos, los nietos y los bisnietos. Sin ellos, el viaje vitaldel señor Rui no tendría sentido, y él sabe mejor que nadie que, aunque el final del camino esté cerca, ha sido un hermoso trayecto. La crítica ha dicho:«Siendo una novela, pero también una biografía, el autor hace una lectura de un Portugal diferente, que refleja la vida en el campo entre el período de 1931 y 2021, entre la dictadura y la democracia, de una manera tierna y amena que sentiremos como una parte de nuestra propia historia personal».Nuno Ferreira, mediotejo.net «Ya sabíamos que José Luís Peixoto es un gran escritor, principalmente porque logra extraer de la realidad una verdad y una interpretación tan limpia que casi duele, dejándonos a veces derramar más de una lágrima, pero, al mismo tiempo, es un orgullo de esta tierra, que es nuestra, también suya y más aún del comandante Rui Nabeiro».MF Perdigão Alves y António Louro Alves, Diário do Sul«José Luís Peixoto es un maestro mensajero, sin intermediarios, sin ser afectado por ruidos externos, está conectado directamente con el campo [...]. El autor utiliza la forma de biografía para construir una novela […] con una dimensión atemporal. El resultado es un negocio del que los lectores son los mayores beneficiados y que podría generar aún más beneficios si fuera la base del guion de una película, lo tiene todo. Este libro está en la estantería para ser vendido, pero, así como un producto literario va mucho más allá de la escritura, la escritura de Peixoto es mucho más que un producto literario».Joao Melo, Plataforma SobreGalveias:«Una de las revelaciones más sorprendentes de la literatura portuguesa».José Saramago «Como Saramago, José Luis Peixoto es un escritor tocado por el genio».Urbano Tavares Rodrigues
